That’s a wrap on the 2026 season at Cranberry Cove!

Thank you to our beach director, gate attendants, lifeguards, and camp staff for helping make this a safe and fun summer. And thank you to our families, friends, and neighbors for all the wonderful memories.

While the beach is now closed to the public, the ramp for nonmotorized vessels remains open to the public. Visitors can also enjoy the waterfront trail in front of the Lodge, which leads to a peaceful fishing spot.

Feel like continuing the trek? Explore the trails at both the North and South Ends, which connect to Smitty’s Bog.

Curious about camping during the fall foliage? Visit www.campkiwanee.com (http://www.campkiwanee.com/) or give the Lodge a call (781) 293-2333, Monday through Friday from 9 to 2. Be sure to ask about the Hanson resident discount when booking.

We hope everyone has a great school year and we are counting down the days until the 2027 season!

Today might be the last day of the Cove for the 2026 season but the fun doesn’t stop when school starts this week!
